UPS has announced plans to expand its UPS Worldwide Express service to more than 41,000 new postal codes around the world, creating earlier guaranteed-delivery options for customers that previously had only end-of-day guarantees.
The existing UPS Worldwide Express service offers guaranteed delivery on the next possible business day by 10:30 a.m., noon or 2:00 p.m. depending on the destination. UPS Worldwide Express service is available in 65 countries that comprise 91% of the global gross domestic product.
Nick Basford, vice president of international marketing at UPS said, “We are pleased to expand the global footprint of UPS Worldwide Express,” adding “As international trade continues to grow and supply chains become increasingly global, businesses need guaranteed time-of-day delivery they can count on. Their success, in turn, drives global commerce and creates jobs.”
The majority of the new postal codes are in Asia Pacific while in Europe and Canada, UPS announced intention to further expand existing coverage.
